Christmas Was Here

CHRISTMAS WAS HERE
Words by David M. Murray ©2021

As I Lit The Tree In The Church Square There.
Christmas Oh Christmas Will Soon Be Here.
Holly Wreaths Adorned The Oak Doors.
Pretty As A Picture, Who Could Ask For More?

A Blanket Of Snow Covered The Ground.
Hung From The Roof Tops And All Around 
The Crunch Of The Snow Beneath My Cold Feet 
Seemed To Mark Time With The Choir's Beat.

Christmas Oh Christmas Will Soon Be Here 
From The Farms In The Highlands To The Church In The Square 
And Oh Won't It Be The Merriest Of Times 
When There's Peace In Our Hearts And Carols That Rhyme?

As I Lit Each Candle The Glass Did Glow 
I Could Hear The Horses In The Stable Below.
Christmas Oh Christmas Will Soon Be Here 
As The Church Goers In Their Finest Then Appear.
So I Grabbed At The Rope For To Ring The Church Bells 
To Herald The Choir And The Book Of Kells 
The Voices They Thundered Out Into The Square.
Bounced Off The Stars In The Frosty Night Air.

Christmas Oh Christmas Will Soon Be Here 
From The Farms In The Highlands To The Church In The Square 
And Oh Won't It Be The Merriest Of Times 
When There's Peace In Our Hearts And Carols That Rhyme?

And When All Was Sung And Prayed Complete,
I Doused The Lights And Made For The Street, 
But I Left The Tree In The Church Square There 
To Remind Everyone That Christmas Was Here.

Christmas Oh Christmas Will Soon Be Here 
From The Farms In The Highlands To The Church In The Square 
And Oh Won't It Be The Merriest Of Times 
When There's Peace In Our Hearts And Carols That Rhyme?
